Cats might think 'Lethargy is an art form...' but I hope your 'treadmills of human 
activity' run smoothly this week but will give you time for a worthwhile nap! 
Thanks for the fave of the relaxing cat Jody

The Burj Khalifa is a remarkable building - I'm not totally sure I've done it justice 
but thanks for thinking my attempted capture was good enough to fave Jody        

As promised, this is the first of my 'holiday snaps'

This is a desperately late reply thanking you for faving "Winter's cruel mind". The excuse is

we've just been away for nearly a month visiting Cape Town   and Dubai 

but at least I've found you some new captures for future submission Jody

I'm hoping ""Going to the beach..." might happily remind me of sunny days as 
forthcoming storms and winter chills sweep over us in the northern hemisphere     
I hope it does the same for you Jody        Thanks for that fave... 
                                                       ...and the dragonfly one as well

A deviant commented on my submission by saying 'Poseidon really p****d off his brother this time'.  A very interesting observation of Greek mythology I thought...         
Either way, thanks for faving "Zeus does battle..." Jody

The squirrel fave was nevertheless very much appreciated - thank you Jody

The remembrance of the Great War inspired my submission of "Lest we forget..."  
It's a hundred years since the conflict. Poppies, cornflowers and forget me nots are symbols of hope and remembrance in various nations - "Lest we forget" and history repeats itself...

Thanks for the fave and spending a moment in thought Jody

“Remember the balance; the give-and-take of energy. The symbol of yin and yang is more than the integration of male and female. It’s also the balance of light and dark, soft and hard, active and passive, in and out, giver and receiver. You can’t have one without the other.” 
Seek balance of heart and mind Thanks for faving "Yin and Yang joined..." Jody 

          Have a balanced weekend my friend       (Btw, sorry for a late reply we're travelling)

Without being over nostalgic and without realising it at the time, this photograph showed the building in London where I was born. The location was St Thomas Hospital on the opposite bank of the Thames from the Houses of Parliament. Sadly, I cropped it off just beyond the left margin of the submission. The skyline has changed dramatically in the intervening years though! It means a lot to me and I'm so glad you liked it enough to fave!   
                                                               Have a great Christmas Jody
